If you loved The Beautiful Game, try Wicked Little Letters
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Thea Sharrock, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Beautiful Game, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Wicked Little Letters is
A postbox rattles in a coastal breeze. A tea towel flutters from a Littlehampton window. Edith’s knuckles whiten around the saucer, reading aloud a sentence no decent woman’s hand should write. Neighbours trade hushed insults and ink-stained gloves. Rose, elbows sharp, learns the alphabet faster than the alphabet learns her. Sharrock’s 1920s seaside farce turns every censor’s blush into a bonfire of sisterhood.
